My favourite holiday: Rome



Seven years ago, I was on holiday in Rome with my boyfriend and my parents. It wasn't my first time there, but my boyfriend had never been in Italy before. Rome is a fantastic and incredible city, it is magic. My favourite monument is The Vatican, it is the best place in the world. I remember when I went there, my face changed and I felt a good sensation, these is one of my favourite places in the world. I remember too, when I bought the big picture of La Pieta and when I saw that monument in live I forgot my problems and I felt better. On that trip we also saw the Coliseum, the Panteon and the Roman Theater too. This trip is totally recommended to all people, but if somebody likes art, it is amazing. In Rome, we walked by the city center and ate typical food (pasta, pizza). It was lovely. We drank the best coffee in the world and we enjoyed the charm of the city.
Come on! Everybody go to Rome!

It was our first time.The weather was bad .Every day was raining and
it was cold.Liverpool was like a ghost city,because it was very foggy.It
was windy during our trip.On the last day,we visited London and the
weather was better.The tourist guide said the summer was finished
over there.It wasn't a fantastic holiday.

Holiday in l'Escala

Last August, I was on holiday on the beach. I was with my girlfriend in l'Escala, but on the beach there were too many people. In the afternoon, we walked by the port. In the night we had dinner, but we weren't dancing. After dinner, we were in our hotel room to sleep.

W. SHAKESPEARE: The Merchant of Venice (Shylock's speech.7')

W. SHAKESPEARE: The Merchant of Venice

  This is Shylock's famous speech:

ACT 3.

SCENE I. Venice. A street
SHYLOCK. To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgrac'd me and hind'red me half a million; laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies. And what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions, fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villaiy you teach me I will execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
